Walk the Walk

Where are you right now in your career? What if this was it? What if the world didn't hear your message, your professional mark or your spiritual contribution - would you be disappointed? Take a look around you, do you see some people who you consider less significant? Fact of the matter is that we are all one. Yes, you are the son of God, but there are many billions of others who share your destiny. When you consider all this, it should not be hard to recognize the voice in your head which is not the real you. I think you know which voice I am talking about, the ambitious, the jealous, the scheming one. The good news is, once you recognize it, you see that it is just a layer of your personality which is fleeting, the same as fear, lust, greed and so many others of your so called personal attributes. Make the right choice here and now, one that reflects who you think you really are and as the connection with your true Self is building, the layers of your personality blanket slowly wither away.

The ego will try to convince you that only your professional legacy has importance. How foolish is that! The Course in Miracle states that "Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God." Every smile at the right instant, every kind word, every helpful gesture at the right time is real, everything else is just the illusion of a grandiose mind. It simply doesn't exist. Walk the Tao here and now and you have changed humanity's future as well as its past. Never mind the chatter in your brain, just react to the infinite cues the Tao is sending your way to get you back on track. Walk the walk and you will instantly recognize the voice in your head that may just talk the talk.
